Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Ponte dell’Accademia, Campo de la Carita, Venice Italy
the Accademia Bridge crosses the Grand Canal towards its lower, southern end, linking the San Marco district with the Accademia gallery in Dorsoduro. It offers two of the best views in Venice, looking along the Grand Canal in each direction. On one side lies the dome of Santa Maria della Salute, and on the other is the quieter bend which eventually takes the canal towards the Rialto Bridge. It is the only bridge in wood crossing the Grand Canal…and listening tony our guide you will learn its interesting story.
Pass By: Campo Santa Margherita, sestiere di Dorso Duro, Venice Italy
surrounded of houses from the XIV and XV century, is a very well known meeting point of the Dorsoduro District area. It’s a very lively place characterized by its untouched Venetianity: small shops, bars, restaurants, a tiny fish market and a local street market that sometimes comes out from nowhere, contribute to render it unique and full of life.
Stop At: Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, San Polo, 3072, 30125 Venice Italy
After the Basilica of St. Mark’s, the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari is the most remarkable ecclesiastical complex in Venice, as well as being one of the most important Franciscan foundations in Italy. Over the centuries the Basilica has become a veritable treasure-chest of exceptional works of art: Bellini, Donatello, Canova…an actual working church that can easily be compared to a magnificent museum.
